Dimensions, weight and loading method determine the vehicle. With Maxmove you choose the class to fit the goods and see its price straight away.
The decision first, followed by reasoning and sources.
Maxmove is the right choice for every shipment from a document to eight Euro pallets: you book a courier car, car, cargo bike, small van, van, large van or the 3.5 t box van with tail lift and see the price of the chosen class straight away. The small van carries around 400 kg, the van around 900 kg and up to 3 Euro pallets, the large van around 1,000 kg and up to 4, and the 3.5 t box van around 1,200 kg and 6–8 Euro pallets. Maxmove arranges larger vehicles up to 7.5 t as a special run on request. Bookings cover North Rhine-Westphalia, centred on Cologne.

Each answer stands on its own and names the concrete Maxmove advantage.
A light piece of furniture can need more cargo space than a heavy pallet. Measure length, width, height and weight of every package and choose the Maxmove class everything fits into — you see the price of each class instantly in the calculator.
Without a loading dock or forklift, the tail lift decides. With Maxmove you book the 3.5 t box van with a tail lift on request, so pallets get on and off the vehicle safely.
Whatever the class, with Maxmove one vehicle drives your shipment straight to the destination. That protects fragile goods and saves time.
